Gleaning Quotes

• The hungry men were seen, followed by their valets, roaming the quais and guards' quarters; gleaning from their outside friends all the dinners they could find; for, according to Aramis, in prosperity one should sow meals right and left, in order to harvest some in adversity.

• The Hebrew Bible contains multiple provisions to ensure that no one would go hungry. The corners of the field, forgotten sheaves of grain, gleanings that drop from the hands of the gleaner, and small clusters of grapes left on the vine were to be given to the poor.

• Gleaning is getting things that are abandoned. I did not abandon my early pictures, my photos, my early films. It's just going through my body of work as something I can pick from.

• Life without meaning
  cannot be borne.
  We find a mission
  to which we're sworn
  -or answer the call
  of Death's dark horn.
  Without a gleaning
  of purpose in life,
  we have no vision,
  we live in strife,
  -or let blood fall
  on a suicide knife.

• Vemos que hay dos tipos diferentes de...sociedades: (a) las sociedades parasitarias y (b) las sociedades productoras. Las primeras son las que viven de la caza, de la pesca o simplemente de espigar. Con sus actividades económicas no aumentan, sino que disminuyen, la cantidad de riqueza en el mundo. El segundo tipo de sociedades, las sociedades productoras, viven de la agricultura y el pastoreo. Con estas actividades buscan aumentar la cantidad de riqueza en el mundo.

• Regarding the passage on p. 163 of the 'Gleanings': The creatures which Bahá'u'lláh states to be found on every planet cannot be considered to be necessarily similar or different from human beings on this earth. Bahá'u'lláh does not specifically state whether such creatures are like or unlike us. He simply refers to the fact that there are creatures on every planet. It remains for science to discover one day the exact nature of these creatures.

• Incluso los niños más pequeños que miran un libro ilustrado utilizan su imaginación, extraen pistas de las imágenes para entender lo que está ocurriendo y quizás utilicen los detalles desechables que incluye el ilustrador para añadir sus propios elementos a la historia.
